Purlife Holdings LLC's Montgomery Boulevard retail license in New Mexico is no longer active, according to the state license roster updated September 12. The company also lost its US-550 location on the same date, part of a batch of at least 12 retail license deactivations recorded that day.

The closures span multiple operators—Northern Farms, Fire and Ash, New Mexico Drip, Dispensary Near Me North Valley, Higher Frequency, Score 420, PSM Legacy, Vireo of Santa Fe, Grande Cultivation Collective, High Note, and High Plains Cannabis all saw licenses inactivated simultaneously. The timing and scale suggest a possible regulatory sweep or compliance action, though the state roster provides no stated reason.

New Mexico's adult-use market remains substantially sized, with 1,006 open retail licenses and roughly $48 million in reported sales across July and August 2026. The closure wave warrants monitoring for any regulatory announcements clarifying whether these represent voluntary shutdowns, license expirations, or enforcement actions.
